10.6.6 messed me up!

I actually purchased a Hackintosh a few months back. Desktop pro i7... Was working great. Had 10.6.3 installed. I updated to 10.6.6 this morning and all looked fine until I noticed that the computer wasn't recognizing and audio outputs. I messed with it for awhile and couldn't get it to work. I'm a video editor so I needs my audio! I decided to use Time Machine to restore my System folder. Probably a dumb idea... Screens turned blue and I haven't been able to boot back into OS X. I get the grey screen and the spinner just spins and spins. I did some research and burned me several different versions of the Boot 132 disc and got as far as the grey screen again after I inserted the 10.6.3 install dvd. I have been unable to contact the gentleman who built it for me. Pretty desperate for some help if anyone can lend a hand. BTW- I can boot into Windows no problem and the sound works fine there.

The lesson...DO NOT BUY a prebuilt Hackintosh. BUILD your own. That way when something breaks after an update you will know how to reapply the patches required to get the OS running again. To try and fix the audio, try installing the VoodooHDA kexts.

you need to learn what you have in there mate - get your data off with the paragon recovery cd to a usb drive or network and then blat it with a new hackintosh os with all the right kexts etc.

10.6.6 WILL work if you do it right
